PerfScope¶
Snowflake query performance, made visible¶
PerfScope is a 100% native Snowflake application that helps teams identify their worst-performing and most expensive queries without moving data outside Snowflake.
PerfScope analyzes Snowflake account metadata and query history to rank workloads by:
- Execution time
- Compute cost
- Bytes scanned
- Local and remote spillage
- Warehouse queuing time
This turns time-consuming manual investigation into a fast, guided performance analysis workflow.
Why PerfScope?¶
PerfScope helps Snowflake administrators, platform teams, data engineers, and FinOps teams quickly answer questions such as:
- Which queries are consuming the most compute?
- Which workloads are scanning excessive amounts of data?
- Which queries are spilling to local or remote storage?
- Which warehouses are experiencing queuing pressure?
- Which users, roles, or workloads are driving cost?
- Are query performance trends getting better or worse?
Native by design¶
PerfScope runs entirely within your Snowflake account.
Zero data egress
No business data, query metadata, credentials, or telemetry is sent to external services by PerfScope.
PerfScope does not require external APIs or external network access for its core query-performance analysis.
Get started¶
Install PerfScope from the Snowflake Marketplace, grant the required privileges, and launch the app from Snowsight.
